Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Ask a man his salary. Do it. How else are you supposed to learn who is getting underpaid? The only way to rectify that problem is to learn about it in the first place.

I think context is important here. Asking a co-worker their salary is fine. Asking about the salary of someone you're on a date with is not fine.

The NLRB ensures that discussion of wages is a protected right.

Talk about your wages.

Ask a woman her age. Do it. How else are you supposed to learn who is getting older? The only way to celebrate that is to learn about it in the first place.
